Valex sat in his study, resting in his chair with his head facing the ceiling as he thought. "The faint scent from her wrist was familiar, but it didn't seem like I had been in physical contact with this person. It couldn't have been the guards." He brought his hands up and gently touched his nose, continuing to think. "Could it be one of the servants?"He shook his head and sat up straight, still pondering. "A human female's strength could only leave a mark on a female wolf to a limited extent, and the same applied to a male human servant."
Valex pushed his chair forward, placing his hands on the desk as his mind raced. "Who is this person she is trying to protect and why?" He paused, then whispered slowly, "Could it be that groom boy?" Just then, he heard a knock at the door. Sitting up straight, he said, "Come in, Kael."
